How to pronounce "acceptable"

These were the three buildings that were the ideal --

the Concertgebouw, Boston and Berlin.

Everybody liked the surround.

Actually, this is the smallest hall in size,

and it has more seats than any of these

because it has double balconies.

Our client doesn't want balconies, so --

and when we met our new acoustician, he told us

this was the right shape or this was the right shape.

And we tried many shapes, trying to get the energy

of the original design within an acoustical, acceptable format.

We finally settled on a shape that was

the proportion of the Concertgebouw

with the sloping outside walls, which the acoustician said

were crucial to this and later decided they weren't,

but now we have them.

(Laughter)

And our idea is to make the seating carriage very sculptural

and out of wood and like a big boat sitting in this plaster room.

That's the idea.

And the corners would have skylights
